Fight the flats and the mass overdevelopment of Bowes Ward by Notting Hill

Notting Hill Housing Association are getting away with murder!
 
If they get their way - the area will be unrecognisable.  Their plan is to demolish classic 1930's houses and build blocks of flats, the majority of which will be 1 and 2 beds.  They also plan to build 14 Mews houses along a rear accessway sandwiched between Bowes Road and Broomfield School and dump families with children into houses which will have no windows at the back and step out onto a busy access road.
 
Most of us wait for the planing committee to raise objections.  By then, it can be too late.
 
The real debate takes place at the meeting of the planning panel.  The planning officers haven't yet made a recommendation and the whole scheme is still up for negotiation.
 
The panel meet next on 28th of February at 7.30pm at Trinity at Bowes church  Here is a link to the council's website about the meeting and details about the various planning applications.  Please take a look and consider how your local neighbourhood will be affected:
 
The full planning committee will probably be sometime in March and a further post will follow once a date is set.  The more people we have at the meeting, the louder our voice so please pass on the message
 
We can make a difference and stop these plans!
 
If you miss Thursday's meeting, you can still help by:
 
1. Writing to your local councillors. Bowes residents in particular need to email their local councillors.  If their councillors receive enough objections, they will act to try and influence the planning panel.  Bowes ward Councillors are:
You can also email the Planning Committee Members: http://governance.enfield.gov.uk/mgCommitteeDetails.aspx?ID=124
 
and your local MP david@davidburrowes.com

2. Sign our pettion.  This will be available to collect from Jag's Trophies at 160 Bowes Road, N112JG.  This will be ready to collect from Monday the 4th of March.  Please help in getting as many signatures as possible and then returning to Jag where all the signatures will be collected and presented to the Planning Committee

 
Finally:

My name is Nikki and I represent the Ritz Parade Traders Association.  

Thank you for your support.

Over development will lead to flooding. What about school places, Bowes school is full. Better shops needed, leisure facilities, library open longer. Lots to do Enfield.

The Enfield Independent has published a short report - focused on the comments of Broomfield School's new Head Mr Travis - who voiced opposition to proposed properties along the school's perimeter.

The response was amazing.  We had a packed hall.  People had to stand.  Many many excellant points were made.  The Chair Cllr Ertan Hurer did an amazing job also and allowed us all time to speak.  Our message was quite clear, NTHH ended up red faced on many occassions and a straw poll indicated not one person supported the scheme.  Lots for the panel to think about.  The next step is to sign our petiition which is attached.  Completed petitions can be returned to Jag's Trophies at 160-162 Bowes Road, N11

What about also creating an online petition ?

There's a 90-minute audio recording made at the meeting which can be downloaded from SoundCloud.  It was made by Dhiren Shah - see this Facebook page.

Hi Max - this has been suggested but I think none of us were entirely sure how to go about it and our focus last week was to get the numbers up at the meeting.  Can you help or do you know someone who can help?  I attached the petition to my last post.

There are several simple online petition platforms Change.org is particularly straightforward.

It would probably be best to make an online version of your paper petition rather than create something different.

Follow this link http://www.change.org/en-GB

I was about to recommend change.org too. You beat me to it Richard!
